Chameleon Color.

The complex mechanism of the
chameleon's changing hues is thus de-
scribed by Mr.. Grant Allen: Tiny cor
puscles of different pigments are some
times hidden in the depths of the chame-
Icons skin, and sometimes spread out on
its surface in an interlacing network of
brown or purple. In addition 10 this
prime coloring-matter, however, the
animal also possesses a yellow pigment,
and blush layer in the skin, which
acts like the iridium glass so largely
employed by DR.. Salviati being
seen as straw -colored with a
transmitted light, but assuming a
faint lilac tint against an opaque sur
face. While sleeping the chameleon
becomes almost white in the shade, but
if light falls upon him, he SLOWLY
darkens by an automatic process. The
movements of the corpuscles are gov
erned by opposite nerves and muscles.
which either cause them to bury them
selves under the true skin, or to form
an opaque ground behind the blue
layer, or to spread out in ramifying
mass on the outer surface, and so
produce almess any necessary shade of
gray, green, back or yellow.

notice that Dr. Parker would preach at the

name would be greeted by Kisses. and to
avoid such disagreeable occurrence, he
thought to ignore the notice
The excitement over the affair was still
greater, however, when dispatch was pub

defiantly stated that he received exactly s7O0
for the eulogy on Mr.. Beecher, and that he
considered that no remarkable Compensation
for travelling COCO miles, leaving his pulpit
and home five weeks, and preparing the ad-
dress.
Members Of Plymouth church, comment
ing on this, assert that it is well known that
DIR. Parker also received $3.50 from a pub
fishers syndicate for the copyright of the
eulogy. Dea White has written letter saw
ing that Plymouth pulpit would be too hot
for DIR. Parker unless he explained matters,
1t is said that to avoid scene Dr. Parker
will be asked to excuse himself from filling
the engagement to preach.

(Yuma s ntinel.)

The attempted break from the Terri torial Prison on Thursday last, was one of the boldest and most sanguinary in the history of that institution. About nine o'clock in the morning, as MT. Gates was leaving the prison, and just as he ordered the gate keeper to let him out ot the North sally port. convict Llbrado Puebla pinioned his arms from behind and marched out the astonished officer before him, expecting to shield himself Tn that way from the guns of the guards; this movement was followed by seven others M exican prisoners rushing out, one of whom Jose Lopez, running into the office opposite, where he broke open Mr. Gates desk and secured a revolver He soon :eappeared on the scene and opened fire upon Hartlee on the Tank station. Hartlee at the time i'll obedience to the orders of MT. Gates, being engaged in firing at the devil holding the Superin- tendent and succeeded in hitting Puebla twice. Upon being wounded Puebla stab bed MT. Gates and Rule appearing on the scene let fly at Lopez, who pluckily re- piled but soon fell shot by both Hartlee and Rule. As he dropped Barney Riggs rushed out and without any hesitation picked up the revolv CT; not noticing the bullets winch were flying around pretty lively, he stepped up to Gates would be assassin and gave him the contents of the revolver; the man dropped dead, and the kindly disposed Riggs immediately at tended to the seriously hurt officer. In the meantime Hartlee shot a convict as he was turning the corner, and Dick Reynolds caught another with plumper as he ran down the road side. The Cap tain of the yard Fred Freddy was at the time having 8 rattling setto with Rivera, who was endeavoring to stick pick into Fredly's head; Fredly succeede in throw | ing his arms around him, and they both | fell down the embankment some twenty feet. Whilst this was going on Assistant Behan who was inside the prison attend ing to his duties, arrived on the scene. and soon convinced Mir. Fredly's antagonist to "let up." John Markle who lives to one side of the hill heard the rumpus and came out stopping convict on his way down the road; shortly after being stop ped theman dropped and proved to be seriously wounded. Annis Ragel and August Green were on hand and secured two of the run-aways, although from theil position they could not shoot. Five oi the eight convicts were shot, and three unhurt, and not single prisoner lost The officers one and all are to be compli- mented upon their coolness and the thorough manner with which they attend

 who escaped death and have caused Thomas Gates to be so seriously wounded should be brought before the distric court and given ar additional term o

The appreciation in prices will return the cost many times over in that time, and surely there can be no more tempt ing inducement, especially as it IS the safest investment one can make. Messrs. Oury & Guild are selling these eligible lots at figures that any one can reach, but they will not long remain SO, for the increasing demand and rapid growth of that portion of the city will advance prices Tn short time.
